A chance meeting in 1967 at Port Adelaide brought together young Peter Urbański and legendary figure NAZI hunter Simon Wiesenthal (verified). While Wiesenthal was there to promote his latest book, his visit carried a deeper weight: a recognition of the shadow cast by Peter’s father. Discover the true story behind the man who inspired legends, now revealed after decades of silence. And it is verified that he visited!

Below the author after his first target shooting adventure at 3 1/2 years old.  Taken by his older brother and his father is still behind the wheel 1964
Bronislaw Urbanski Captured with MI6 partner Teddy Late September 1939. Dressed in Army clothes 'found strewn along the Polish roads' his KOP Platoon is right behind him. They are grouped awaiting sorting to Stalags. 

The look that inspired a legend. While this sketch of Bronislaw Urbanski screams "James Bond," it’s actually the other way around. In 1951, Ian Fleming based his original concept sketch for Bond directly on a photograph of Bronislaw, which was later refined by a professional artist. (Source: Wikipedia, James Bond)

'The Truth They Said Could Never Be Proven'

Meet the most lethal spy and assassin of the

20th century !

    One Man. Two Lives. True Espionage Revelations that will rewrite WWII history as you know it—because it was kept secret for 83 years deliberately by the assassin's son. His detailed confessions and those who were involved reveal exactly how Polish Wartime PM and General Władysław Sikorski was killed by sabotage to his plane, Flight AL523. Discover the shocking truth that experts have now tested thoroughly, physically and scientifically, and proven the method.

    For over 84 years, the tragic 1943 crash of B24 Liberator AL523 a 55,000 lb warbird and the death of Polish General Władysław Sikorski were dismissed as just a mysterious accident. But history was built on shadows. You only know what we wanted to tell you, which was nothing, until now as we now have a reason.

    Meet Bronisław Urbański—the 'Chameleonic Assassin' of the Polish Underground Government, a deep-cover operative for MI6 Section D under Colonel Colin McVean Gubbins and Sir Peter Allix Wilkinson, and an elite weapon of the British War Office. Later in Western Germany under Patton as C.G.T.C. guard but secretly working with the OSS, even his badge had a special marker on it to signify to leave him alone.

    He was handled directly by legendary British Superspy SOE Christine Granville, as his War Director, Lover and, remarkably, she was his relative. Urbański executed missions even signed by Winston Churchill himself as paper orders were all they had then. 

    Plus, he joined numerous other Polish resistance groups, including the dreaded A.K. Unit 993/ Wapiennek or 'Revenge Co', with Zbigniew Szubanski 'Clive' as his boss—also Australian comedian Magda Szubanski's father. Zbigniew has already been historically recognized.

    But before that in the very early 1930s, did you know he was one of the first in the world, in Poland, in his class with Marian Rejewski and his teacher Maksymilian Cieski, breaking the 'ENIGMA' (commercial version) and create the 'BOMBE' (you know the computer Alan Turing claimed he named and invented, how embarrassing for his Nephew to correct him in X, Y, Z etc!!) in the AVA Radio Co. in Warsaw to be precise.

    He was in the Polish Intelligence Department's German Counterintelligence section there, learning, deciphering and studying cryptology and unraveling the 'ENIGMA' machine. This is why MI6 wanted him and to partner with Poland's Intelligence.

    He became a top-class cryptologist and master of the wireless radio. By the time he was handed a new master—MI6 in Poland—he was already with Polish Intelligence. His new bosses in mid-1939 were now Gubbins and Wilkinson of MI6 Section D.

    Bronisław's one-handed duck-shooting partner in the Polish marshes near Lwow where his partner did military work prior to WW2 was none other than Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart—the 'Unkillable Soldier'. Yes, you did not know he retired to Poland for he loved it there, he was Bronislaw's good friend.

    Bronisław functioned under the guise of working for the Polish Government in Exile in London but, in reality, performed tasks for the British Government's War Office through SOE Christine Granville, born in Poland as Maria 'Krystyna' Skarbek in 1908. He was also known as the 'King Assassin' and to the Poles as the 'White Ghost'. To the Allied forces he was the 'King Assassin'.

    His tasks were mostly assassinations, while WWII was raging and Nazis were everywhere—even in Austria as a secretive Polish 'Musketeer' and as a mechanic but in reality, building at night weapons. His weapon of choice was not the gun but a knife.

    Discover the man who single-handedly brought down a Military Warbird a B24 on Flight AL523, killing Polish PM and General Władysław Sikorski in his B-24 Consolidated Liberator bomber with barely any effort. He even sabotaged it externally whilst a guard was stationed inside, no one heard a thing.

    He sabotaged the plane at the right moment to avoid discovery, changing WWII in the process. A superspy for Polish Intelligence, MI6 and later OSS, he took out his eyes his "rogue" PM and General - Władysław Sikorski in 1943. Many wanted him dead, or stopped.

    Now you can read who, how and why it was done.

    Fact: did you know it stopped Commander Ian Fleming's 'Operation Golden Eye' in Gibraltar? It would go on to inspire Ian Fleming to create James Bond and call his Jamaican property actually 'Golden Eye' afterwards, all because of this man. His terrifyingly efficient exploits and double life provided the exact genetic DNA for Ian Fleming’s ultimate fictional creation: 007 later on and this added to his fictitious James Bond.

    Absolutely nothing stopped him. There was nothing he feared, and he always got his target eventually—even if it took months!

He is absolutely been acclaimed by Historians and backed and proven by Science.
Finally its "Game set & match".

    Peter Urbański's lifelong mission to unlock his father's 1984 deathbeds confessions has set the historical community ablaze. The evidence has been meticulously scrutinized and verified by world-class professors, aviation crash experts, and intelligence historians:

  • Professor Norman Davies ─ Legendary British-Polish historian; recognized and included Urbański's definitive historical conclusions in his authoritative work Plus Ultra (2024).

  • Garth Barnard ─ Renowned WWII Air Crash Investigator and lead documentary producer of Sikorski's Last Flight.

  • Chris Wroblewski ─ Co-author of Sabotage! (2023), confirming the mechanical replication of the unique elevator-jamming sabotage method.

  • Professor Peter Zablocki ─ Acclaimed historian and author of The Death of General Sikorski (2024).

  • Simon Wiesenthal (Historical Encounter) ─ The legendary Nazi hunter personally met a young Peter Urbański at Port Adelaide in 1967. Wiesenthal openly recognized the formidable and terrifying shadow cast by Bronisław—knowing him not merely as a hunter, but as an unmatched wartime killer.

  • Zbigniew Szubanski (Clive): A.K. UNIT 993/W "Revenge Co." Leader and boss of Bronislaw. Author spoke to him and Zbigniew said he was his best assassin to this very author at Bronislaw's place in Ottoway, South Australia.

  • Stewart Egerton, historical researcher of WW2, Interviewed Bronislaw Urbanski's partner 'Teddy' an Cichociemni and MI6 Agent during WW2 in the early 1980s. Studied History (college major) & Historical Research at University of Liverpool (England) Graduated 1996

HISTORICAL BREAKTHROUGH Flight AL523

--------------------------------------
The Gibraltar Sabotage:
Official Investigation Case rasied to reinvestigate the evidence of this book.

    This isn't historical speculation—it is active criminal and historical justice. Driven directly by the forensic evidence and explosive findings brought to light in Peter Urbański’s published work, top-tier international authorities have reacted: However, as per Polish IPN could shelve it to save embarrassment but its eventuated in:

  • Investigation Re-Opened: Case number issued. On July 2, 2025, the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) through their Chief Prosecutor quietly and formally re-opened the criminal investigation into the 1943 crash of Liberator AL523.

  • Federal Police Evidence Collection: In March 2026, under an active multi-jurisdictional Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request actioned by the Australian Governor-General and the ICCCA, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) formally interviewed the author and collected critical evidence in Adelaide for official delivery to Poland's IPN delegates.

  • Current Status (July 2026): The AFP has advised that the evidentiary brief is in the final stages of preparation, with the material being compiled for formal transmission to the Polish authorities. Once received, the IPN and the Polish Chief Prosecutor will determine what further investigative steps, if any, are appropriate under Polish law.

  • The author's note: UPDATE: 13th of August 2026 the Author has signed court documents to be ratified and then sent to Poland with all relevant information, evidence and statements.

    How the Process Works (reopening of General Sikorski case as an assassination new case no.)

  • The ICCCA in Canberra: The International Crime Cooperation Central Authority (ICCCA) is the designated branch within the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department in Canberra. It serves as Australia's central authority for receiving, reviewing, and executing formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) requests from foreign governments and judicial bodies—such as Poland’s IPN.

  • The Case Reference Number: When a foreign government issues an MLA request (in this case, from prosecutor Marcin Gołębiewski's division at the IPN regarding the General Sikorski investigation), the Attorney-General’s Department logs it under a specific ICCCA case/file number.

  • Execution by Law Enforcement: Once Canberra approves the formal MLA request under that case number, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are authorized to execute the request locally—which includes conducting formal recorded interviews, taking statements, and receiving physical or documentary evidence submitted by individuals in Australia.

Fascinating and worth persevering with...

"....... as the author was working in a language (English) that is not their own. However, the story is very interesting and sheds new potential light on the (Sikorski) assassination. It includes a lot of particularly interesting photos to support the story. I learnt things about the Polish underground as well, that I had not fully appreciated."

ANDREW REEDS - British Military, MI5 Major, SAS, Military Journalist, MOD writer, Journalist, Businessman - Book review on AMAZON in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2021

Most Amazing...

We were taught at school how the Enigma was handed over to the British, how Bertrand fed info back and how Dilly Knox met the team in Warsaw, how a machine was smuggled here (excuse my putting it in a nutshell). However, this book (and I paid for mine) is a fascinating, more detailed insight than you would teach a fifteen-year-old. Good read! "

The most stupendous TRUTHS, in history...

" Peter you are extraordinary, remember the beginning to where you are now, what an incredible journey and a difficult one, but you kept faith, honored your father's wishes and you have come out the other side, with one of the most stupendous TRUTHS, in history. Pat yourself on the back for me, I am just an observer, and I like what I see."

Everyone thought it was the Russians!...

" Everyone thought like I did until March 1984, that it was the Russians that killed Sikorski, sadly this is not the case at all. He (Bronislaw) did such a good job, that NOBODY could work it out as to what exactly happened. All that could be deduced was that somehow the elevator(s) were jammed -but how?","Now we tell you how and why!"

PETER URBANSKI - Author, son of Bronislaw - 27/09/2024

Congratulations!

"....... I know you’ve been steadfast in bringing your father’s story to light, and it sounds like your persistence has contributed to these conclusions by others........

May I say, Congratulations!"
